Bridging the Economic & Academic Gaps

According to United Way of Greenville County:

• more than 10% of Greenville County is under poverty line.
• 1 of 100 largest communities in the county ranked 1 of 10 most difficult places to rise out of poverty. 

Our efforts to help the people of Greenville County rise from poverty is by:

• Encouraging the importance of education and helping families get the access to quality education.
• Understanding how to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
• Reminding the community that "health equals wealth" to make sure they are 

We accomplish our efforts to bring economic mobility to individuals by providing our Intensive Excellence Program. This program will mentor and encourage middle and high school students to stay in school, make logical decisions, build confidence to become a great leader. 

We also provide our Wealthy Young Adult Program that offer GEDWorks, and the help of our partners. 

We know that a person's adversities and many mental health troubles such as, stress, anxiety, and depression can keep them from reaching their potential, especially when you don't have the proper help or guidance. 

We help with different adversities buy providing community outreach events to help families with diapers, school supplies, and Christmas toys. 

Also, as certified Mental Health First Aide, we also guide our participants and mentees to overcome their traumas and help them have better relationships and handling stress for personal and career development. 

With our programs and workshops, we would like to help our students open their eyes to a different world. To know that they have a sense of belonging to build confidence and leadership skills in order for them to become successful.
